Re: should I get the iMac fusion drive or not?

I've heard mixed things on it too. A lot of people have complained about the varied performance because it is a hybrid and not two actual drives. I would suggest buying it and dumping the algorithm program and have it set up as a SSD [which is sexy] and a regular HD.

Re: should I get the iMac fusion drive or not?

I stuck a 128 gig SSD in mine alongside the 1TB hard drive and put the OS and all my apps on the SSD. Cost to do that now would be about £60. This, I believe, gives me the best of both worlds at a fraction of the price. I have time machine setup to backup both drives to my synology NAS which is itself backed up to an external HD. I really don't want to lose stuff!
